Tony G Finds "The Best Cash Games In The World"

Tony G has laid claim to discovering what he calls the best cash games in the world and no they are not in Macau as most would have you believe. Instead Mr Guoga claims the best cash games are currently being played in Belarus; Minsk to be exact.

Everyone's favourite Australian-Lithuanian was invited to Minsk to play in a private high stakes Pot Limit Omaha cash game and by the sounds of it came away from it in very good shape indeed.

He's currently in Lithuania at the exclusive Tony Resort where he and his faithful hound Zasko are relaxing by "keeping away dangerous bears." Tony has his fingers in many pies and his latest venture is a band called the Tony Betties! Check out his latest blog to hear them in action.

Help Yourself To a Free $50 Bankroll!

Thanks to the special relationship between PokerNews and PartyPoker you can help yourself to a free $50 bankroll! That is correct, $50 absolutely free. $50 that you could use to enter some of the Pokerfest II Online tournaments and possibly turn into a huge bankroll boost!

All you need to do is follow the simple steps below, and $50 is all yours to keep!

Check your email inbox for a confirmation email from free50@pokernews.com

Once you have received the confirmation email, $20 will be placed into your PartyPoker account. You must earn at least 40 PartyPoints before you will be able to withdraw the free $20. If you do not earn 40 PartyPoints within 60 days, the initial $20, or whatever remains of it, will be forfeited. PartyPoints are earned at a rate of two PartyPoints per $1 in rake or tournament fees, so earning 40 within a 60-day time frame is quite an easy task.

Once you have earned 40 PartyPoints a further $30 will be deposited into your account bringing the total free cash amount to $50. You must then generate 160 points before you can cash out any of the the $30 and must do so within 120 days otherwise the $30, or the remainder of it will be forfeited.

Joking aside Miss Scott wants your suggestions on where in the world she should move next. You can give her some tips on her blog.
